Question: OK, I get the, get the seed to germinate then put into a fully prepared RockWool cube. But I have to wait untill it is sprouted out of the cube before I put it into the Stealth Hydro system I have?

Question: I have a healthy plant, the buds have alot of seeds in them. I'm almost certain it's a male plant. My question is, If this plant is a 'Male' are the seeds only male as well? Do they produce male and female seeds??

A common question for new cannabis growers is how to tell if your drooping cannabis is over or under-watered. It's common for new growers to over-water their weed, but that doesn't mean that under-watering doesn't happen too. Never fear, it's easy to tell how often you should be feeding your plant and what is the true cause of your drooping.

How much taller will your cannabis plant grow after being put into the flowering stage?

Cannabis will generally double its height after the lights are changed over to 12-12 (12 hours light, 12 hours darkness) which signals the beginning of the flowering stage. Some cannabis strains, especially sativa-dominant strains, can triple in height or more during the flowering stage. Some indica cannabis strains may not get much taller at all during the flowering stage, and may instead just get bushier.

Cannabis is a "photoperiod" plant, which means the amount of light received each day decides when the plant starts flowering or making buds.

This article will tell you exactly how much light a day your photoperiod cannabis plants need to grow and start budding, so you get to a happy harvest day. What about auto-flowering strains?

Marijuana stress is caused by imbalances of the plant chemistry. Whatever the cause, the stress starts effecting the normal function of the plant and the plant will begin to show signs of problems.

Marijuana plants like to have a consistent envronment which doesn't change much from day to do. You will want to incorporate any changes slowly to avoid stressing your plant.
